  Hi jimbosum888,

  I never had any problems with Windows Media Player, but it seems that an antivirus program or a firewall is blocking Windows Media Player.

  If you have installed AntiVirus or an additional firewall, just disable and try to start the media player again.

• Every thing opens windows media player

  I don't know what I did. I was down loading a disc photos. Don't know what I clicked but now all my desktop icons are all of the windows media player icon and when I go to system restore and you click on it it opens windows media player also.   help.........................

  Hello

  See if you can run the Windows System Restore as follows.

  Shut down the PC.  Tap away at f8 that you start the PC to enter the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select Safe mode and press ENTER.  When it is loaded, click on the Menu start, open the all programs, open accessories, right-click on command prompt and select "run as Administrator".  Type in the following command and press ENTER.

  Rstrui.exe

  I hope that this will launch the system restore.  Choose a restore point at least 24 hours before the file association problem and then restore.  When you are finished, Windows will restart normally.

  Kind regards

  Hi Maurice.

  1. What do you mean when you say no updated with the latest version for windows xp?

  2. what version of Windows media player is installed on the system?

  3. you receive this error code when updating the media player to a higher version or trying to open the media player?

  Error code 80070005 means generally that you're not quite allowed to iperform the task.

  You can open the administrator and check if you can update or open the media player.

  If the problem persists, try the following steps:
  a. download and run Microsoft fix this article (the same article can be followed when you get access denied error during installation)
  b. Once you have run the hotfix, restart the computer.
  c. install Windows Media Player 11 and check the result.

  Note: Running Microsoft Fix that it the article will reset the registry and the file permissions.
